    he makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth.
He sends lightning with the rain^(B)
    and brings out the wind from his storehouses.^(C)

¹⁷ “Everyone is senseless and without knowledge;
    every goldsmith is shamed by his idols.

¹⁸ They are worthless,^(E) the objects of mockery;
    when their judgment comes, they will perish.
